Starter Pokémon: The Complete List by Generation, from Kanto to Gen 10 (2026 Guide)

A starter Pokémon is your very first travelling companion: the one the region's professor hands you at level 5, before the first patch of tall grass. Since Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in 1996, every generation has brought its own Grass, Fire and Water trio, and the main series now counts thirty of them: twenty-seven from Kanto to Paldea, plus Browt, Pombon and Gecqua, the three first partner Pokémon of the tenth generation revealed in February 2026.

This guide puts the whole list in one place: the table of starter Pokémon by generation, their evolutions level by level, the dual types of their final forms, the Mega Evolutions (including those from Pokémon Legends: Z-A), base stats, special partners such as Pikachu and Eevee, Ash's starters in the anime and a reasoned take on the best pick in each region. It is up to date as of November 13, 2026.

Key takeaways

• The main series counts 30 starters across ten generations: 27 from Kanto (1996) to Paldea (2022), and 3 for the 10^th generation, that of Pokémon Winds and Waves, expected in 2027.
• Every trio follows the same rule: one Grass Pokémon, one Fire Pokémon, one Water Pokémon, handed over at level 5. Grass beats Water, Water beats Fire, Fire beats Grass.
• The first 27 all have three stages: the first evolution comes between levels 14 and 18, the second between levels 30 and 36.
• The final evolutions are almost evenly matched: their base stat total ranges from 525 to 535. Swampert is the best endowed, with 535.
• Thirteen Mega Evolutions belong to starters, six of which arrived with Pokémon Legends: Z-A (Mega Meganium, Mega Feraligatr, Mega Emboar, Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox and Mega Greninja).
• Pikachu (Pokémon Yellow, Let's Go, Pikachu!) and Eevee (Let's Go, Eevee!) are the two main-series starters that fall outside the Grass, Fire and Water trio.
• There is no "best" starter in absolute terms, but in each region one of the three makes the early game easier: Bulbasaur in Kanto, Mudkip in Hoenn or Fuecoco in Paldea, for example.

What is a starter Pokémon?

A starter, called a first partner Pokémon in recent games, is the Pokémon given to the player at the very start of the adventure. In the main series, it is almost always offered by the region's professor: three Poké Balls, three level 5 Pokémon, one choice. You will also hear "partner Pokémon" now and then.

Every trio follows the same rules, which the French encyclopedia Poképédia details on its page about first partner Pokémon:

• Three complementary types: one Grass Pokémon, one Fire Pokémon, one Water Pokémon. Each has the upper hand over one of the other two and fears the third.
• One Ability per type: Overgrow for Grass starters, Blaze for Fire starters, Torrent for Water starters. All three work the same way: they power up moves of the matching type when the Pokémon drops below a third of its HP. Each starter also has a Hidden Ability, which is harder to obtain.
• Seven males for every female: 87.5% of starters are male and 12.5% are female, which makes them slow to breed in numbers.
• Three evolution stages and, at the end of the road, almost identical stats from one starter to the next, with a base total between 525 and 535.
• A rival who picks after you: in most games, they take the Pokémon that has the advantage over yours. In Alola, Galar and Paldea, it is the other way round: they leave with the one your starter beats.

Beware of a false friend: in trading card shops, the "starter" category covers ready-to-play decks, a deck holding exactly 60 cards. This guide is about the first partner Pokémon of the video games, and the figures that depict them.

The complete list of starter Pokémon by generation

Here are the thirty first partner Pokémon of the main series, in generation order. For each one: its type at the first stage, the region and games where it first appears, its two evolutions with their level, and the types of its final form. The years given are those of the games' first release, in Japan, where the first generation was called Red and Green.

Three pointers for reading this table. First, the list of names in order: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle; Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile; Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip; Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup; Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott; Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie; Rowlet, Litten, Popplio; Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble; Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly; Browt, Pombon, Gecqua. Next, the first stage almost always has a single type: only Bulbasaur (Grass and Poison) and Rowlet (Grass and Flying) are exceptions. Finally, it is the final form that gives a starter its personality, with dual types that grow more varied with each generation.

Gen 1 starters (Kanto): Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle

This is the founding trio, that of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan (February 27, 1996), then Red and Blue in Europe (October 1999). Professor Oak catches up with you on the way out of Pallet Town, and your rival leaves with the Pokémon that has the advantage over yours.

• Bulbasaur (Grass and Poison, No. 0001) evolves into Ivysaur at level 16, then into Venusaur at level 32. Hidden Ability: Chlorophyll.
• Charmander (Fire, No. 0004) evolves into Charmeleon at level 16, then into Charizard, a Fire and Flying type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Solar Power.
• Squirtle (Water, No. 0007) evolves into Wartortle at level 16, then into Blastoise at level 36. Hidden Ability: Rain Dish.

All three final forms have been able to Mega Evolve since Pokémon X and Y: Mega Venusaur, Mega Blastoise and, as a special case, two versions for Charizard, Mega Charizard X (Fire and Dragon) and Mega Charizard Y. Each also has a Gigantamax form in Sword and Shield. This trio comes back regularly: in FireRed and LeafGreen (2004 in Europe, re-released on Nintendo Switch on February 27, 2026), from Professor Sycamore in X and Y, or in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, where a side mission lets you adopt one.

As figures, all three lines exist in full: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Venusaur together on a single base, Charizard, Charmander and Charmeleon on their volcano, and Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise in their wave.

Gen 2 starters (Johto): Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile

Pokémon Gold and Silver came out in Japan on November 21, 1999 and in Europe on April 6, 2001. Professor Elm hands over the starter, and the rival, Silver, steals the one that has the advantage over yours.

• Chikorita (Grass, No. 0152) evolves into Bayleef at level 16, then into Meganium at level 32. Hidden Ability: Leaf Guard.
• Cyndaquil (Fire, No. 0155) evolves into Quilava at level 14, then into Typhlosion at level 36. Hidden Ability: Flash Fire.
• Totodile (Water, No. 0158) evolves into Croconaw at level 18, then into Feraligatr at level 30. Hidden Ability: Sheer Force.

Johto has two quirks. It is the only region where the three starters each evolve at different levels, and Totodile is the starter that reaches its final stage the earliest, at level 30. All three final forms keep a single type, but they have gained recent variants: Hisuian Typhlosion (Fire and Ghost) in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, then Mega Meganium (Grass and Fairy) and Mega Feraligatr (Water and Dragon) in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, where Chikorita and Totodile are part of the starting trio.

All three families exist as complete sets: Chikorita, Bayleef and Meganium, Cyndaquil, Quilava and Typhlosion, and Totodile, Croconaw and Feraligatr.

Gen 3 starters (Hoenn): Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire arrived on November 21, 2002 in Japan and on July 25, 2003 in Europe. Chased by a wild Poochyena, Professor Birch asks you to pick one of the three Pokémon to come to his aid, then lets you keep it.

• Treecko (Grass, No. 0252) evolves into Grovyle at level 16, then into Sceptile at level 36. Hidden Ability: Unburden.
• Torchic (Fire, No. 0255) evolves into Combusken, a Fire and Fighting type, at level 16, then into Blaziken at level 36. Hidden Ability: Speed Boost.
• Mudkip (Water, No. 0258) evolves into Marshtomp, a Water and Ground type, at level 16, then into Swampert at level 36. Hidden Ability: Damp.

Hoenn starts two habits. Blaziken opens the run of Fire and Fighting starters, which continues in Sinnoh and Unova. And Swampert, Water and Ground, is left with a single weakness, Grass, while boasting the best base stat total of all starters (535). All three final forms Mega Evolve: Mega Blaziken since the sixth generation, Mega Sceptile (Grass and Dragon) and Mega Swampert since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the 2014 remakes.

On the display side, the Fire line comes as a set, Torchic, Combusken and Blaziken, and Mudkip joins the Hoenn trainer in the May and Mudkip figure.

Gen 4 starters (Sinnoh): Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl came out on September 28, 2006 in Japan and on July 27, 2007 in Europe. The three Pokémon wait in the briefcase that Professor Rowan left behind near Lake Verity.

• Turtwig (Grass, No. 0387) evolves into Grotle at level 18, then into Torterra, a Grass and Ground type, at level 32. Hidden Ability: Shell Armor.
• Chimchar (Fire, No. 0390) evolves into Monferno, a Fire and Fighting type, at level 14, then into Infernape at level 36. Hidden Ability: Iron Fist.
• Piplup (Water, No. 0393) evolves into Prinplup at level 16, then into Empoleon, a Water and Steel type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Competitive.

Sinnoh is the first generation where all three final forms carry a dual type: Grass and Ground, Fire and Fighting, Water and Steel. The trio is played as is: as of November 13, 2026, neither Poképédia nor the PokéAPI database lists a Mega Evolution or a regional form for it.

The Fire family is the best represented in our shop, as a set with Chimchar, Monferno and Infernape, or as a large piece with Infernape leaping through the flames.

Gen 5 starters (Unova): Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott

Pokémon Black and White were released on September 18, 2010 in Japan and on March 4, 2011 in Europe. The starter arrives in a parcel from Professor Juniper, to be shared with your two childhood friends, Bianca and Cheren.

• Snivy (Grass, No. 0495) evolves into Servine at level 17, then into Serperior at level 36. Hidden Ability: Contrary.
• Tepig (Fire, No. 0498) evolves into Pignite, a Fire and Fighting type, at level 17, then into Emboar at level 36. Hidden Ability: Thick Fat, then Reckless for Emboar.
• Oshawott (Water, No. 0501) evolves into Dewott at level 17, then into Samurott at level 36. Hidden Ability: Shell Armor.

The three Unova starters evolve at exactly the same levels, 17 then 36, and Emboar is the third Fire and Fighting starter in a row. Two variants came later: Hisuian Samurott (Water and Dark) in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Mega Emboar in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, where Tepig is the Fire starter.

Gen 6 starters (Kalos): Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie

Pokémon X and Y came out worldwide on the same day, October 12, 2013. Here, it is not a professor who holds out the Poké Balls but Tierno, one of your friends. Professor Sycamore makes up for it a little further on: he also gives you a Kanto starter, along with its Mega Stone.

• Chespin (Grass, No. 0650) evolves into Quilladin at level 16, then into Chesnaught, a Grass and Fighting type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Bulletproof.
• Fennekin (Fire, No. 0653) evolves into Braixen at level 16, then into Delphox, a Fire and Psychic type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Magician.
• Froakie (Water, No. 0656) evolves into Frogadier at level 16, then into Greninja, a Water and Dark type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Protean.

The second types form a second triangle: Chesnaught's Fighting beats Greninja's Dark, Dark beats Delphox's Psychic, and Psychic beats Fighting. Greninja is also the most celebrated starter: it came first in the worldwide "Pokémon of the Year" vote run with Google in 2020, and it has a form of its own, Ash-Greninja, born in the anime and then playable in Sun and Moon.

All three final forms have been able to Mega Evolve since Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox and Mega Greninja were revealed on September 12, 2025, and their Mega Stones were first handed out as rewards for online Ranked Battles: Greninjite from season 1 (October 16 to November 5, 2025), Delphoxite from season 2 and Chesnaughtite from season 3. As a figure, it is precisely the anime form that you will find: Ash-Greninja on its giant water shuriken.

Gen 7 starters (Alola): Rowlet, Litten and Popplio

Pokémon Sun and Moon came out on November 18, 2016 in Japan and on November 23, 2016 in Europe. In Alola, it is Hala, the Island Kahuna of Melemele Island, who hands over the starter; in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Professor Kukui takes over that role.

• Rowlet (Grass and Flying, No. 0722) evolves into Dartrix at level 17, then into Decidueye, a Grass and Ghost type, at level 34. Hidden Ability: Long Reach.
• Litten (Fire, No. 0725) evolves into Torracat at level 17, then into Incineroar, a Fire and Dark type, at level 34. Hidden Ability: Intimidate.
• Popplio (Water, No. 0728) evolves into Brionne at level 17, then into Primarina, a Water and Fairy type, at level 34. Hidden Ability: Liquid Voice.

Rowlet is a unique case: it is the only starter whose dual type changes along the way, from Grass and Flying to Grass and Ghost. It even has a third one, Grass and Fighting, with Hisuian Decidueye, the form it takes at level 36 in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The Alola trio also reaches its final stage at level 34, earlier than most other starters.

Gen 8 starters (Galar): Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble

Pokémon Sword and Shield came out on November 15, 2019. It is Leon, the Champion of the Galar League, who gives one starter to the player and another to their rival, before keeping the third for himself.

• Grookey (Grass, No. 0810) evolves into Thwackey at level 16, then into Rillaboom at level 35. Hidden Ability: Grassy Surge.
• Scorbunny (Fire, No. 0813) evolves into Raboot at level 16, then into Cinderace at level 35. Hidden Ability: Libero.
• Sobble (Water, No. 0816) evolves into Drizzile at level 16, then into Inteleon at level 35. Hidden Ability: Sniper.

Galar goes back to the restraint of Johto: all three final forms keep a single type. Their originality lies elsewhere, with three Gigantamax forms (Rillaboom, Cinderace and Inteleon) and Hidden Abilities that change the way they play, such as Libero, which gives Cinderace the type of the move it uses.

Gen 9 starters (Paldea): Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet came out on November 18, 2022. The starter is handed over by Clavell, the director of the Paldea academy, and the rival, Nemona, takes the one that is at a disadvantage against yours.

• Sprigatito (Grass, No. 0906) evolves into Floragato at level 16, then into Meowscarada, a Grass and Dark type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Protean.
• Fuecoco (Fire, No. 0909) evolves into Crocalor at level 16, then into Skeledirge, a Fire and Ghost type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Unaware.
• Quaxly (Water, No. 0912) evolves into Quaxwell at level 16, then into Quaquaval, a Water and Fighting type, at level 36. Hidden Ability: Moxie.

The three final forms of Paldea have exactly the same base stat total, 530, like those of Alola and Galar before them. This trio is also that of the animated series Pokémon Horizons: Liko receives Sprigatito at the academy, Roy bonds with a singing Fuecoco, and Dot teams up with Quaxly.

Gen 10 starters: Browt, Pombon and Gecqua

The starters of the tenth generation were revealed on February 27, 2026, during the Pokémon Presents marking the series' 30th anniversary, alongside the games Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves. Both versions are announced for 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2, in a new region made up of islands with very varied environments.

• Browt (Grass), known as Broussatif in French: a yellow chick 0.3 m tall and weighing 3.5 kg, with two leaves for eyebrows. Ability: Overgrow.
• Pombon (Fire), known as Caloulou in French: an orange puppy 0.4 m tall and weighing 6.7 kg, reminiscent of a Pomeranian. Ability: Blaze.
• Gecqua (Water), known as Ogéko in French: a small blue gecko 0.3 m tall and weighing 4.3 kg, with a crafty look. Ability: Torrent.

As of November 13, 2026, Poképédia lists only these three first stages: their evolutions, Pokédex numbers and stats are still to be revealed. We will update this guide as soon as they are known.

Pikachu, Eevee and the starters of the Legends games

Not every starter comes from a brand-new trio. Four cases are worth knowing.

Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow

In Pokémon Yellow, released in Europe on June 16, 2000, the game follows the anime: the starter is always Pikachu. It walks behind the hero, outside its Poké Ball, and refuses the Thunder Stone, and therefore the evolution into Raichu. The rival, for his part, ends up with an Eevee. Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle can still be obtained during the adventure, which lets you bring the full trio together without trading.

Pikachu and Eevee in Let's Go

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! (November 16, 2018), the starter depends on the version. This partner Pokémon cannot evolve; in return, its stats are higher than normal and it learns moves that others of its kind do not know. To find out everything about the evolutions an ordinary Eevee can take, see our guide to Eevee's evolutions.

The starters of Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus (January 28, 2022) draws on three generations: Professor Laventon offers Rowlet, Cyndaquil and Oshawott. In Hisui, their final forms change: Hisuian Decidueye (Grass and Fighting), Hisuian Typhlosion (Fire and Ghost) and Hisuian Samurott (Water and Dark), all obtained at level 36. Once the main story is over, the professor entrusts the other two starters to the player.

The starters of Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Pokémon Legends: Z-A (October 16, 2025) does the same with Chikorita, Tepig and Totodile, offered in Lumiose City by Urbain or Taunie. Their final forms each gain a Mega Evolution there, and your starter's Mega Stone is given to you during main mission 10; those of the other two can be bought in a shop once the story is finished. A side mission also lets you adopt Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.

Outside the main series, the trio rule gives way even more readily: Pokémon Colosseum starts with Espeon and Umbreon, Pokémon XD with an Eevee, and in Pokémon GO Professor Willow offers Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, with a hidden Pikachu for those who walk away from the selection area several times.

Starter evolutions: levels, dual types and special forms

At what level do starters evolve?

No starter needs a stone, a trade or friendship: they all evolve simply by gaining levels. The patterns can be counted on the fingers of two hands.

• Levels 16 then 36, the most common pattern: Charmander, Squirtle, the three Hoenn starters, Piplup, the three from Kalos and the three from Paldea.
• Levels 16 then 32: Bulbasaur and Chikorita.
• Levels 14 then 36: Cyndaquil and Chimchar, the earliest for the first evolution.
• Levels 18 then 30: Totodile. Levels 18 then 32: Turtwig.
• Levels 17 then 36: the three Unova starters. Levels 17 then 34: the three from Alola.
• Levels 16 then 35: the three Galar starters.

The dual types of the final evolutions

Of the 27 known final forms, ten keep a single type: Blastoise, Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Sceptile, Serperior, Samurott, Rillaboom, Cinderace and Inteleon. The other seventeen add a second type, and some come up often.

• Fighting, the most frequent: Blaziken, Infernape, Emboar, Chesnaught, Quaquaval, and Hisuian Decidueye among the regional forms.
• Dark: Greninja, Incineroar, Meowscarada, and Hisuian Samurott.
• Ghost: Decidueye, Skeledirge, and Hisuian Typhlosion.
• Ground: Swampert and Torterra.
• A single representative each: Poison (Venusaur), Flying (Charizard), Steel (Empoleon), Psychic (Delphox), Fairy (Primarina).
• Dragon, reserved for Mega Evolutions: Mega Charizard X, Mega Sceptile and Mega Feraligatr.

Poképédia notes that three types have not yet been given to any starter or to any of its evolutions: Rock, Bug and Ice.

Mega Evolutions, Ash-Greninja and Hisuian forms

The following table brings together all the special forms of starters that change their stats or their types. A Mega Evolution adds 100 points to the base total; Ash-Greninja adds 110.

Add to these six Gigantamax forms, which change the Pokémon's appearance and size for three turns without touching its base stats: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace and Inteleon, all in Sword and Shield. Among the pieces in our shop, the two versions of Charizard are the most spectacular: Mega Charizard X in its blue flames and Mega Charizard Y in full flight.

Which starter is the strongest? Base stats

On paper, starters are designed to be evenly matched. Here are the base stats of the 27 final evolutions, in generation order; the total is the sum of the six columns.

A few takeaways. Swampert has the highest total (535), ahead of Charizard, Typhlosion, Infernape and Delphox (534). Charizard and Typhlosion in fact share exactly the same six stats. Since Alola, every starter ends up at exactly 530: it is no longer the total that sets them apart, but the spread.

• The fastest: Meowscarada (123), Greninja (122), Sceptile and Inteleon (120), Cinderace (119).
• The strongest in Attack: Rillaboom (125), Emboar (123), Blaziken and Quaquaval (120).
• The strongest in Special Attack: Primarina (126), Inteleon (125), Delphox (114).
• The sturdiest: Chesnaught (122 Defense), Primarina (116 Special Defense), Emboar (110 HP).

With special forms, the hierarchy changes. According to Poképédia, the starter with the highest base stats is Ash-Greninja (640), followed by Mega Swampert (635), then the two Mega Charizard, tied with Mega Delphox (634). That is the most honest answer to the question "which starter is the strongest": without a transformation, Swampert; with one, Ash-Greninja.

What is the best starter Pokémon, generation by generation?

The question has no absolute answer, since the stats are evenly matched and personal taste counts. What can be said is which one makes the early game easiest, by looking at the types of the first Gym Leaders you will meet. That is the criterion used here.

This table says nothing about the late game, where every starter becomes solid, nor about the fun of playing. If you are still hesitating, look at the final form rather than the first stage: that is the one you will spend most of the adventure with.

Ash's starters in the anime

In the Pokémon anime, Ash receives Pikachu from Professor Oak in the very first episode. He then makes up for it region after region, most often by catching wild or abandoned starter Pokémon.

• Kanto: Bulbasaur (episode 10), Charmander (episode 11) and Squirtle (episode 12).
• Johto: Chikorita (episode 126), Cyndaquil (episode 141) and Totodile (episode 151).
• Hoenn: Treecko (episode 281).
• Sinnoh: Turtwig (episode 471) and Chimchar (episode 518).
• Unova: Oshawott (episode 660, entrusted by Professor Juniper), Tepig (episode 661) and Snivy (episode 664).
• Kalos: Froakie (episode 801, entrusted by Professor Sycamore).
• Alola: Rowlet (episode 943) and Litten (episode 960).

Some went all the way up their line, such as Charizard, Sceptile, Torterra, Infernape, Greninja and Incineroar; others never evolved, like Bulbasaur, Totodile or Rowlet. Ash-Greninja comes straight from the series: its look echoes that of the hero in the XY series.

Ash's companions had theirs too: Gary receives Squirtle from Professor Oak, May starts with Torchic, Dawn with Piplup, Serena with Fennekin, and Goh brings together the three Galar starters. In the games, the Kanto rival is called Blue, and he ends up with Charizard if you choose Bulbasaur: it is this duo, the rival and his Charizard, that the Charizard and Gary figure shows.

Starter Pokémon as figures

You only choose a starter once in the game, but nothing stops you from displaying all three. Our Pokémon figures cover the starters of five regions, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos, in three formats.

• Lines on a single base: the three stages together in one setting, like the Bulbasaur family or the Squirtle family. It is the format that tells the story of evolution best.
• Sets of small figures: each stage separately, from 2 to 11 cm, for the Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh lines. Handy for building one shelf per generation.
• Standalone pieces: a single Pokémon in a scene, such as Venusaur on its base of vines or Charmander or Squirtle on its rock.

To display them without damaging them, away from sunlight and dust, our guide to displaying and caring for your figures gives the right habits.
